Caroline England | Noel Streatfeild
1 post | 1 read
Born into a very traditional family, Caroline Torry’s childhood is ruled by patriarchy and propriety. She grows up in the gorgeous Milton Manor which has belonged to her family for generations, but the pressure to produce a male heir gradually becomes too much for her mother . . . Despite her troubled upbringing, fifteen years later Caroline has a husband and children of her own. She’s grown into a caring mother and a devoted wife determined to give her family everything that was stripped from her own childhood. But when World War One breaks out things don’t quite go to plan . . . Carnegie Medal winning author Noel Streatfeild navigates through three stages of Caroline’s life with expert skill and finesse in her wartime novel, Caroline England.

Caroline England | Noel Streatfeild

The life of a well-meaning upper-class English woman, from her childhood in the 1870s through the very different world of the 1930s. I think I wasn't the audience for this; Streatfeild's writing is engaging as always, and her characters relatable, but I found the story so dour and depressing overall.

(CW for homophobia; also, the digital edition is full of mistakes.)
